Starring Claudia Karvan, the drama looks at the subject of refugees and the Australian system of government detention centres. But it does so in a very accessible way with an actress as popular as Karvan spearheading the story.

Karvan plays Julia, a young mother recovering from the death of her five-week-old baby from SIDs. When her sister-in-law invites her to accompany her to a detention centre she meets an Iranian detainee, Amir (Osamah Sami). Amir is waiting for a decision from the government as to whether he can stay in the country or not. When Julia learns that his case is likely to be rejected, she takes up his cause and a bond forms between the two.
